Zombies from the Beyond

• /Zombies from the Beyond/*/ /is a musical comedy celebration of American ideals and foibles in the Eisenhower era. Songs, dances, and laughs abound as the Cold War and the space race paranoia threaten the good folks at the Milwaukee Space Center in 1955, where the staff is all abuzz at the arrival of rocket scientist Trenton Corbett. The budding romance of Trenton and Mary--the daughter of Space Center commander Major Malone--is jeopardized when a flying saucer lands in Milwaukee. The craft is piloted by Zombina, a buxom alien aviatrix bent of procuring he-specimens to repopulate her planet. Can Mary uphold her ladylike demeanor while attempting to save Milwaukee from a Red Menace and a flying saucer invasion? Can the stalwart men of Milwaukee survive brainwashing by a musical menace from another world who gives new meaning to “stratospheric” soprano? Taking its cue from B-movies of the time, */Zombies from the Beyond/* brings the 1950s nostalgically and hilariously to life. The NY Post said: ”This crazy satire is absolutely enchanting. By all means see it--it’s 24-carat fun!” And the *_NY Daily News_* said: ”A droll, tongue-in-cheek book and a zippy score. A dizzy musical above and beyond the call of hilarity.”
